Chicago Bundles Up

Officials at O'Hare said the airport offered cots to stranded travelers following the cancellations.

Monday's cancellations come a day after carriers scrapped about 400 flights on Sunday because of cold, snow and wind.

With temperatures continuing to plummet on Monday, many more flights could be canceled. During another cold snap earlier this month, airlines canceled more than 1,000 flights in Chicago over a two-day period.

The National Weather Service says the air temperature was 2 degrees below zero at O'Hare Monday morning. That's expected to fall to almost 20 degrees below zero later in the night. Wind chills could make it feel like 45 degrees below zero.

The aviation department recommends travelers and those picking up travelers visit the airlines' web sites for flight status before coming to the airports.
